For some, Jet Airways was their first choice of travel, and for some it felt like a home in the sky. A stream of Bollywood celebrities turned emotional as Jet Airways announced temporary suspension of flights, leaving thousands of its employees, passengers and fans in the lurch. Jet shut operations on Wednesday night as it failed to secure interim funding for maintaining even bare minimum operations. Here's what Bollywood stars tweeted:

Rishi Kapoor: My heartfelt wishes for the Jet Airways people. You have served us with utmost love and care. Thank you. Sorry for this chaos. All will be good!

Anupam Kher: This is such a sad news. I really loved the professionalism, the service and the people of Jet Airways. Hope things change for this airlines soon. Jet Airways temporarily shuts down operations.

Shekhar Kapur: Once we proudly showed it off as how India could be the best in the world. For Jet Airways was a truly a world beating airline in its quality, service, staff, in everything. Naresh Goyal was committed to make it so. Sad to see it finally grounded today.

Swara Bhasker: Will miss you Jet Airways. You were always my first choice for travel! Your crew and on-board teams were so hospitable and warm! Will miss you. Hope you find a way to be back in the skies again! Adieu, fare thee well.

Masaba: Let's not forget that a large part of the success of Jet Airways was its incredible staff that managed to keep a smiling face through the crisis. And now to be blown off course for months at a stretch. Praying for the 15,000+ employees at Jet Airways. This must be a terrible time for them.

Nimrat Kaur: Travelling will never be the same. Grateful for creating home thousands of miles above. Heartbroken, but hopeful this isn't it. Will miss you Jet Airways.
